Is It Better To Burn Out Or To Fade Away?

Say it with me “Gunter glieben glauten globen”
Thanks, Def Leppard!

Last Monday when I announced that it was the day after the anniversary of this blog I nearly also announced that it was the last day of it as well. In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been very busy accomplishing little.

Time has become more of a premium item in my life, and I am trying to maximize the amount that I have left.

Shouldn’t we all? Yes.

Therefore last week I started devoting less time to this space and more time to other things.

What could be more important?

• I am reading the book “Beartown”.
• I am trying to exercise.
• I am devoting more time to learning German. (Not like that nonsense that opened this post, however.)
• I am trying to build a software portfolio that will help me find a job that pleases me, pays my living wage, and doesn’t require me to live in any particular place.
• I am trying to stimulate my creative juices. Like with this photo I took while out walking last Thursday evening.

  

In short, I am trying to make myself happy.

Will I abandon this space? No, not yet.

Will I ignore this space? I will try not to.

Do I still love you? Of course, but naturally only in a platonic way.

Hope you had a pride-filled, enjoyable Green Egg food eating, productive Highland Games planning, or most importantly, wonderful weekend. Mine was okay, though every possible sports team for whom I rooted — Gators, Werder Bremen, Jets, Falcons, whoever is playing UGA, Packers, my fantasy football team, and Islanders — lost. Oh well, like Aaron Rogers’s collarbone, them’s the breaks.
